After Lin Jinyan found a way to deal with Chu Chengyi, the two returned to Fengqi Palace together. After staying for two quarters of an hour, the three of them left the palace together.
Along the way, Princess Yanling was talking to Chu Chengyi about the civet cat with great interest. Chu Chengyi had been talking to Princess Yanling, but his attention was on Lin Jinyan.
This girl is too weird. What secrets does she hide...
In Fengqi Palace.
After listening to the palace servant's report on the conversation between Lin Jinyan and Chu Chengyao, the queen said coldly with anger:
"It is indeed him! When you first mentioned it, I was still wondering how he could reward Lin Jinyan, and not let this girl tell anyone about it, even if it was just to give him some rare and valuable items as apology. At that time, I thought he was brave He is so young, but now I see how courageous he is! He dares to scheme even in the Duke's Mansion!"
Crown Princess: "Judging from the fact that the twins secretly sent cakes to the second brother, they not only knew each other but also had a close relationship. The second brother probably hid the twins in the Lin Mansion because he thought Lin Jinyan was young and easy to deceive."
Queen: "You're right. I tricked the girl. She didn't know that something happened to the brothers, and she had never met the second brother in private, so she probably didn't know anything about it. I asked the second brother to hand over the gifts to The restaurant looks like I have never been to Lao Er’s mansion.”
Crown Princess: "Mother, what should we do now?"
The Queen said in a solemn tone: "After you leave the palace, go to the Duke's Mansion and tell your grandfather all these things. He will handle it himself. I didn't know who it was before, but now that I know it, it will be easier to handle."
The Duke's Mansion of the State of Qin.
After the Crown Princess left, Duke Qin ordered his guards to keep an eye on Zhong Yi at the Second Prince's Mansion, Taihe Restaurant, and Chu Chengyao.
Qin Zongheng said bitterly: "I didn't expect that he was pretending to be on good terms with me! But he was hurting me like this behind my back! He was the one who gave me the idea for the He family's affairs, and that pair of fools from the He family still believed in him!"
Uncle Qin: "It's quite hidden. I never doubted him at first. The guard who rescued him said that the two brothers in the He family called the rescuer Brother Zhong. I think it was Zhong Yi who was beside him."
Duke Guo of Qin: "Although this son has a sinister mind, he is very good at hiding his clumsiness. The prince has great talents in governing the country, but he has no such scheming. If he is allowed to develop, he will definitely become the prince's powerful enemy. My dear son, you have just returned to the capital. Find time to make friends. Good young masters and princes, please take some time to breathe, don’t let them be won over by Chu Chengyao.”
The man who looks somewhat similar to Qin Zongheng is Qin Zongliang, the eldest son of Qin.
He is five years older than Qin Zongheng. His talent and academic temperament have far surpassed Qin Zongheng's since he was a child. When he became an adult, he was designated as the eldest son of the Duke of Guo and the successor entrusted with important responsibilities by the Duke of Guo.
Unlike Qin Zongheng, who was a domineering playboy, Qin Zongliang was sociable and thoughtful. He was already married and had children.
Qin Zongliang is indispensable to the fact that Qin Zongheng's reputation has not become as bad as Zhu Dianhua's in recent years.
"Grandpa, don't worry. This morning my grandson notified his close friends and asked them to come out to get together. We will talk about it then. The second brother went to find a painter to paint the portraits of the He brothers, and to paint portraits for the guardian of the house who had never seen the He brothers. The people in the hospital will have one hand, and if they find two people, they can bring them directly to the house."
Qin Zongheng: "Brother, won't it be clear if you take it back to the house?"
Qin Zongliang: "I can't explain it clearly. Rather than hiding it outside, it would be better to keep it safe in the palace. Even Your Majesty cannot force his way into the Duke's palace for two untouchables."
Qin Zongheng stood up obediently, bowed and left to find the painter.
